Catching up!

June 19, 2013

It has taken me a long time to finish writing this post, so apologies – I hope it was worth the wait! I’m going to go back to just after Paris Marathon…

Posing at the Eiffel Tower

After Paris Marathon, it took me a few days to feel like running again, but by Wednesday, Kirsty and I were ready to go for a recovery run in Parc de Monceau. It felt like the most difficult run I’ve ever done – I was almost ready to turn back before we even made it to the park. Eventually, Kirsty and I agreed that we would stop for a stretch after each kilometre. Fortunately, the park was beautiful and there were lots of people there, so I was able to distract myself from my aching legs… and Kirsty and I even managed to fit in a little photo shoot:

Running in Parc de Monceau

Sadly, this was our last day in Paris, and we had to return home the following day.

On the Saturday when I returned, I was run directing at parkrun, so I didn’t have to worry about getting my tired legs around the course. What a relief.

As an overweight couch potato, I decided to turn my life around. I lost over 2.5 stone and now love keeping fit and healthy. In February 2013, I set myself a five-year challenge to complete an iron-distance triathlon (2.4 mile/3.8k swim; 112 mile/180k bike; 26.2 mile/42.2k run).
